High res images of IBM1130 in use

[Patrick Fry]

Hi everyone,

I am searching for high res images that I can source for a book about punch cards. Specifically I would love to find images of machines and cards in use. If anyone has any images or leads that would be brilliant.

Best,

Patrick

[Carlos Abramo]

Patrick,

In a reasonable resolution, this is all I have

Will appreciate if you share with me what you get.

Carlos

Hi Carlos,

Those are some nice pictures. Maybe you can contact the National Museum of Computing in the UK. They have a working 1130 and can probably provide (or maybe take) some stills of a 1442 with cards in the hopper?

If you are writing a book, the correct term is "punched cards"

as in the book "Punched Card Data Processing"

[Al Kossow]

and if you don't believe me, look at the text of:
https://www.ibm.com/ibm/history/ibm100/us/en/icons/punchcard/

[Patrick Fry]

Hi Al,

Duly noted, thank you. I will make sure we refer to them as punched cards from here on.

Best,

Patrick

See my website: http://www.ibm1130.co.uk

I'll see if I can add some more pics - I have a lot! but you can see videos of the card reader in action.

I would require any images used to be credited to me and The National Museum of Computing but other than that they are free to use (although a small donation to TNMOC would be appreciated)

Hi,

 

You’re welcome…

I also remembered:

Card Needle

Card Saw

Card Punch Template

Card Filing Cabinets, with removable drawers to facilitate filing and moving between machines

Rolling Card Holders?

 

If I think of any more I will let you know…

What do you call them _before_ they’re punched? ;-)

[Robert Lerche]

Blank cards.  Or just "cards."

[Yes, I too get irritated by references to "punch cards" but it's a losing battle and fighting it would just show my age.  :-) ]

Like the Wikipedia page I am sure we used "punch cards" or "punched cards" interchangeably.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punched_card

Dave

[Peter Flass]

We also used to use “IBM card” or “Tab card”. I guess the last shows my age.

[chap...@verizon.net]

I assume you will be covering all the IBM keypunches ( and attendant verifiers ) starting with the 010...
And the attendant Unit Record devices...
Also, assume you will cover IBM 1130 Column Binary and IBM 360 Column Binary, obviously Hollerith...
Don't know if you want to get into XEROX Column Binary...

Bob...

I will be doing my best to cover as many of the machines and card types as possible.

It all depends on what images and scans I can get hold of!

I would be interested in seeing your book when it is done! And I will look for some of the photos I took of the 1130 at a Vintage Computer Federation event a couple years ago.

[Lee Ivy]

Here are the photos I took on Aug 6, 2016 at the Vintage Computer Federation event in Mountain View CA. The VCF folks might have better ones. If you go to http://vcfed.org/wp/about/ and send them a request, they might have much better ones. Good luck!

[John Pierce]

I have some good dslr pics of the innards of Carl's 1442 reader/punch from the West coast VCF meet a few years ago.   I'm camping in Utah now, I'll find them when I get home.

Interesting, I never knew the history of the punch card. When I registered at UofM they used punch cards. For each class they had a tray with one card for each seat. We pulled one card from the tray to get a seat (that took care of any race conditions) then we took our cards to another desk where they would read the deck into an IBM 1401.

I still have one for chemistry. I guess I cheated some kid out of a seat (but who would want to take chemistry anyway?)

My first memory of seeing a punched card was in about 1961 when my parents would drive on the New Jersey Turnpike. When we went thru a toll booth at the on-ramp, they gave us a card with mysterious holes punched in it. When we exited we gave them our card and they told us how much we owed. As a 6 year old kid I was fascinated by this. I found a page with an image of an old NJTP card and a few other early special purpose cards:
